Pride in our students
Bedford College’s Head of Adult English, Maths and ESOL, Karike de Klerk added:
“Some 80 people completed the course over the summer, an intensive six week course covering what is usually taught in nine months. We are incredibly proud of all the students.”
During the ceremony several Ukrainian students gave speeches thanking the organisers:
“Thank you, your country, Bedford Borough Council, PBIC and Bedford College for taking care of my compatriots and for such an opportunity for learning English. It made us more confident in our everyday communication and adaptation to a new country. Ukrainian people are very responsible, and we promise to do our best. We are happy to study here.”
“Thank you and all British people for such a great opportunity of learning English. It’s a big step in our development in Great Britain. We are also grateful to PBIC and Polish School for the opportunity to organise the Ukrainian Saturday School.”
“Thank you, PBIC and Bedford College and our teachers for this amazing course. We are so happy to have the opportunity to study, develop and find a job in GB.”
